Notes
Substitutions
- Quick oats or old fashioned rolled oats
- If you don’t have large flake oats you can substitute quick or rolled oats instead. I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp so that it’s not too liquidy or mushy.
- Flavoured Greek yogurt
- If you prefer a different flavoured Greek yogurt, you can use this in place of the vanilla or plain Greek yogurt in this recipe. If you’re looking for a flavoured yogurt, I recommend pumpkin, banana or coconut flavoured yogurt.
- Regular yogurt
- Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. However, this tends to be more liquidy than Greek yogurt so I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp.
- Alternative milks
- If you are looking for a higher protein option, I recommend using dairy milk or soy milk. Other plant-based beverages like oat milk or almond milk will still work in this recipe but provide much less protein.
- Nut or seed butters
- If you want to make this breakfast extra filling and rich, add a dollop of peanut butter (or another nut or seed butter) for a delicious flavour combination!
- Protein powder
- If you want to add an extra boost of protein to overnight oats, you can use protein powder. I recommend adding a small amount to start with to make sure you enjoy the taste and texture.
- Maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, coconut flakes
- Add any of these ingredients to increase the sweetness of this breakfast.
Dietary considerations:
- Gluten free: opt for gluten free oats.
- Dairy free and vegan: choose plant-based yogurt like soy, almond or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
- Nut free: omit the added chopped walnuts.
